Philly.com: Eagles HC Reid anticipated the obvious question: Why
can't L.J. Smith do what 2nd-year TE Brent Celek did Sunday
against the Seahawks? "L.J. attracts so much attention," the
coach said during his day-after news conference following the
Eagles' 26-7 win in Seattle. "Celek comes in and he's kind of an
unknown guy and so there were times they didn't do a great job of
covering him. I'm not taking anything away from him because I
thought he played his heart out." Celek finished with 131 yards on
6 catches, a regular-season franchise record for a TE. Reid said,
"He did a great job. But I know what the obvious question is and
it has nothing to do with L.J.'s play. L.J. is one of those guys
that everybody talks about and the other team is very aware of.
They make sure they have one guy on him at all times and sometimes
2 men." The other obvious question, is whether Celek will start
Sunday against the Giants even if Smith has recovered from the
concussion that kept him out of the Seattle game. "L.J. is the
starter when he comes back," Reid said.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker listed as DNP; RB Zach Carbonnet full

Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III as a Did Not Practice today while RB Zach Charbonnet was upgraded to full practice ahead of Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Fantasy Impact:

Walker is dealing with an ankle injury and as we get closer to Thursday his status really seems to be in doubt. Charbonnet would be the team's lead back and looks to be good to go despite dealing with an elbow injury. He'd once again be a great option if Walker is unable to go.

Charger RBs Gus Edwards, J.K. Dobbins listed as limited

Gus Edwards is listed as a limited participant due to an ankle injury. Edwards ran 14 times for 68 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday’s win over the Broncos.

J.K. Dobbins (knee) was also limited in his first appearance on the injury report since being designated for return from injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said if Dobbins is going to play against the Patriots, the Chargers will have to activate him by Friday. It could be a tricky situation depending on each back's status. Owners will want to pay close attention to this situation leading up to game time.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow, WR Tee Higgins listed as limited

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow told reporters on Tuesday that he feels like he’s totally past his right wrist injury, but it still landed him on the team’s injury report.

Burrow was listed as limited due to the wrist and his knee

Wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) was listed as limited as well,

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Burrow's injury shouldn’t create much cause for concern about his availability against the Broncos on Saturday since he was listed as limited all of last week before playing without issue in the team’s win over the Browns. Burrow added there are still things he does to help with it but he's pretty much past it. The story added Higgins also played without incident last Sunday after being on the report all week.
